Did you know... that in the aftermath of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed three economic agreements: in 1939, in 1940 and in 1941?

Comment

The sentence "The Soviet Union also agreed to act as an intermediary in order to procure war material Germany needed but that the Soviets could not indigenously produce." needs to be supported by evidence. In fact, i consider it highly desireable to have the original text of the agreement, whether translated into English or not, linked to from this page.

2nd paragraph?

The second paragraph in the intro states, "On 11 May 1939, the day after the Credit Agreement, the Soviet Union went to war against Japan ..." But, the sidebar states the agreement was signed 19 August. Was it really signed 10 May but became effective 19 August? That makes no sense. Should "11 May" really be "20 August"? Or is "11 May" referring to something else? Marksdaly (talk) 14:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
